Daisy Iola Wymore Flack, 99, died Wednesday, April 8, 2009, at St. Joseph Medical Center in Brainerd, Minn., of pneumonia. Her remains will be buried at a later date in Ames.

Daisy Iola Wymore Flack was born Aug. 6, 1909, in Barnes City, to Albert and Gladdie (Miller) Wymore. She contributed to the World War II war effort working at the Douglas Aircraft facility in California. She married George A. Flack in 1941. Later, she moved to Oroville, Calif., where she was employed at the high school as secretary in the principal’s office. In 1952, she returned to Iowa, continuing her secretarial work in the Ames High School administrative office for 22 years.

Retiring in 1974, she enjoyed trips with good friends, traveling in the United States and Europe. She was an enthusiastic sports fan, watching a variety of professional and college games on TV. She lived a healthy lifestyle, walking extensively all her life. She had a quick wit and fun sense of humor. She enjoyed reading and took pleasure in sending cards to relatives celebrating birthdays. In 1999, she moved to Brainerd, Minn., to be near family members in her later years.

This quote was found among her treasures: “I know not by what methods rare, But this I know — God answers prayer. And I leave my prayer to Him alone, Whose will is wiser than my own.” Eliza Hickok

She is survived by five nieces, six nephews, and many grand- and great-grandnieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, seven brothers and one sister.

Nelson-Doran Funeral Home in Brainerd, Minn., assisted the family.
